English-Speaking Fitness trainers in Lisbon

I started working with Tiago after trying his group classes at my gym because his workouts were well planned and he is calm and quietly motivational, not shouty. We trained once a week from around December or January until June, and he taught me to use equipment I would never touch like the sled, wrote me a personal workout plan in Excel for non-session days, and talked through nutrition. I wanted to lose weight and get stronger, and he kept me going through the gloomy winter, super organized, on time, and easy to coordinate with on WhatsApp, even coming in on what should have been his day off. Price felt fair, and I liked that he really knows the science of how the body works, which made our sessions make sense.

I started working with Rui in March 2024 with zero gym experience, and he made a clear plan to teach my body the basics and then build more and more. We trained one-on-one two to three times a week for more than a year, and I could text him about diet and any questions - he was very attentive, focused on my needs, and just a cool guy. I feel much more comfortable in the gym now, and we kind of became friends. I paused because personal training is expensive, but compared to others the price felt fair and when I go back to training I will text him first.

I hired Nicola for fitness instruction for my son. It’s just the beginning - we’ve had two or three sessions - but she has been very professional and thorough. She is very flexible about where she teaches, and what she advertises is true. So far this is my impression and I’m happy to keep going.
